the problem is that no files are "decent" as long as concurrent
access is allowed. "control" files have the decency at least
to behave the same way all the time.
if one goes down the road of client-side caching, i think
concurrency issues need to be taken seriously. otherwise
it's like having a multiprogramming kernel without locks.
